Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
And here's the rub, they are using Japanese Technology to make the connection!
How are we ever going to be a major international Power House when we have to borrow our extension lead from the Japanese to plug into Belgium?(who we are supposed to saying goodby to?)
I'm sorry but whoever wrote "Brexit the Tragedy" was more Monty Python's Spamalot – Written by Eric Idle, than William Shakespeare.
There must be a word to express "Tragically hilarious" somewhere in the language
You haven't bought the Mirror yet you obviously read it on-line and re-post it here.
You really are a card.
If you check back I rarely post extracts from the Mirror there are far more fertile sources
Because it had nothing to do with the thread and was just a diversion.

It's amazing what figures can prove

Just look at which state rates number one!

Only with any luck that it might be?
It's niggly little details like these that worry people
"A recent study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute showed that nearly half (47%) of the meat and poultry in US grocery stores was contaminated with S. aureus, with more than half (52%) of those bacteria resistant to antibiotics.[24] Furthermore, as per the FDA, more than 25% of retail chicken is resistant to 5 or more different classes of antibiotic treatment drugs in the United States.[25] An estimated 90–100% of conventional chicken contains, at least, one form of antibiotic resistance microorganism, while organic chicken has been found to have a lower incidence at 84%

I can remember when it flowed the other way. We clearly have not built enough wind things. We need many many many more all over the countryside and in our towns. That will solve the problem, until the wind stops blowing, then it won’t. They’re pretty useless really aren’t they.
On this, I completely agree with you.
Something else I now realise is that as a nation of debtors, we can’t afford to leave the EU. Having the luxury of that choice costs money, and it is money that people simply don’t have. They have sold themselves out to debt.
The same goes for the choice to take industrial aaction if you are shafted over employment Ts&Cs or a detrimental change pension rights. They’ve got everybody over a barrel and shackled to a ridiculously unaffordable mortgage and personal consumer debt. Who could afford to exercise their right to withdraw their labour? Very few.
The signs are there, so I am sorry to say it’s time to forget leaving the EU, cut your losses, it’s out of the price range for far too many. They can’t add Brexit to the credit card.
you should look at yearly production.
According to RenewableUK, the average cost of generating electricity from large scale onshore wind is now around three to four pence per kilowatt hour, competitive with new coal (2.5 - 4.5 pence) and cheaper than new nuclear (4 - 7 pence).
Wind farms are fast becoming the most competitive source of energy.
Coincidentally, I can see one from where I’m walking my dog. It doesn’t seem to be doing very much in the way of generating electricity & that is the problem with them. Things can’t stop because it’s not windy enough.
Or too windy... (Most shut down at 80km/h, 50 mph,which translates to around 40 mph ground speed, )
The vertical wind shear and the affect of tower cause serious vibration issues in stronger winds on top of over loadinng blades and gearing.
Biggest con in history around wind farms. Will all come out in years to come.

Wind farms run on average at about 25% maximum output, so it's normal to see them as lazy but as a matter of fact, they are now very competitive.
If you ignore decommissioning costs. And ignore how many fossil fuels you had to burn to make them in the first place. And the dead birds. Etc.
